The Bob Burdette Center is currently offering Arts in Action Urban Stage dance and improv comedy classes; FestivAll Charleston Theatre class; Graphic Novels Book Club; Origami Club; Girls Scouts; Builder’s Club; Lyrical Club; and Gentle Yoga.

The program will be in-person and serve 30 children who have completed kindergarten through fifth grade. An additional summer program separate from the CDF Freedom School will be provided at a second location.
